Can you do a hog roast in The Flashes?

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Autumn parties in Barford get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
